Thanks, guys, for the thought you have put into my situation. You have given me lots to chew on! Driving today, so not typing a lot. But pondering!
@NinerBikes: Purse, really? It is INFO that I want. But I build houses not cars, and my level of ignorance about gas engines is often more than people here imagine, frankly :). I did not realise it was hard on my alt, if not overheating.
@landyacht: Good idea to compate prices... and hassle. I am not worried about build qualiry of a solar install. I have friends to help me as needed , and i now know to run cabling etc., choices by the folks here :).
